Please use only one method of transmission for comments (mail, fax, or E-mail). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background: President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13496 (E.O. 13496) on January 30, 2009, requiring certain Government contractors and subcontractors to post notices informing their employees of their rights as employees under Federal labor laws. The Order also provides the text of contractual provisions that Federal Government contracting departments and agencies must include in every Government contract, except for collective bargaining agreements and contracts for purchases under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. E.O. 13496 advances the Administration’s goal of promoting economy and efficiency of Federal Government procurement by ensuring that workers employed in the private sector as a result of Federal Government contracts are informed of their rights to engage in union activity and collective bargaining. Knowledge of such basic statutory rights promotes stable labormanagement, thus reducing costs to the Federal Government. The contractual provisions require contractors and subcontractors to post a notice, created by the Secretary of Labor, informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. The notice also provides a statement of the policy of the United States to encourage collective bargaining, as well as a list of activities that are illegal under the Act. The notice concludes with a general description of the remedies to which employees may be entitled if these rights have been violated and contact information for further information about those rights and remedies, as well as enforcement procedures. The clause also requires contractors to include the same clause in their nonexempt subcontracts and purchase orders, and describes generally the PO 00000 Frm 00157 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 sanctions, penalties, and remedies that may be imposed if the contractor fails to satisfy its obligations under the Order and the clause. The proposed regulatory provisions implementing E.O. 13496 (29 CFR part 471) include the language of the required notices, and they explain posting and contractual requirements, the complaint process, the investigatory process, and sanctions, penalties, and remedies that may be imposed if the contractor or subcontractor fails to comply with its obligations under the Order. Specifically, proposed 29 CFR part 471.11(c) sets forth the procedures that the Department must use when accepting written complaints alleging that a contractor doing business with the Federal Government has failed to post the notice required by the Executive Order. In accordance with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA), the Notice to Employees poster will be available for downloading at https:// www.olms.dol.gov or by sending a request to OLMS–Public@dol.gov upon OMB approval. The Office of LaborManagement Standards submitted the Notice of Proposed Rule-Making 1215– AB70 (NPRM), that’s associated with this proposed collection to OMB for comments. The NPRM for 1215–AB70 was published on August 3, 2009. Complaints must be submitted to the Department in writing. The proposed part 471 requires contractors and subcontractors to post notices and cooperate with any investigation into a failure to comply with the requirements of proposed part 471 as the result of a complaint or a compliance evaluation. It also permits employees to file complaints with the Department alleging that a contractor or subcontractor has failed to comply with those requirements. The burden hours for this collection of information were determined by estimating the time required to perform the filing of complaints under the proposed regulation. Specifically, the Department based its estimates on the experience of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) administering other laws applicable to Federal contractors, which determined that it will take an average of 1.28 hours for such a complainant to compose a complaint containing the necessary information and to send that complaint to the Department. This number is also consistent with the burden estimate for filing a complaint under E.O. 13201 and the now-revoked part 470 regulations. The Department has estimated it would receive a total of 50 employee complaints in any given year, which is E:\FR\FM\08SEN1.SGM 08SEN1
